Young hearts collide 2
Chapter 3
Hey there everyone! Here's another chapter for you beautiful people! Please enjoy!
Hannah points her gun out the side of the helicopter as she crouches next to Dannie waiting for the supposed fish head attack. They had been out here like this for the past week and after actually making an effort to talk to Dannie, Hannah realised that the two of them could get along if she shoved that she flirted with Ben to the back of her mind. But that didn't stop her from not being too fond of Dannie.
''Ok Ben, James try this one, m, a, a, j, j, a, s.'' Dannie says they had been playing match the word for the past couple of hours.
Ben and James keep their eyes fixed out the side of the helicopter. ''Err, March, April, May, June, July, August, September, October and November.'' He says.
Matt then rushes in and begins to rummage through his bag. ''What brings you here Matt?'' He asks.
''Batteries.'' Matt mumbles.
''Here you go.'' Ben says handing him the walkie-talkie. ''Now try this one Einsteins, I'm looking for a word, the first indicate a male, the next three a female, the next four a great man, the whole word a great woman, what's the word?'' Ben asks.
Dannie and Hannah smirk at him. ''Trickey.'' They say in unison.
''Matt?'' Ben questions looking at his brother.
Matt hands him the walkie-talkie. ''I don't wanna go to school, I wanna stay at home.'' He says rushing out the helicopter.
''Nice talking to you.'' Ben shouts sarcastically.
Hannah pulls Dannie towards her. ''It's he, her, hero and heroine.'' She whispers in her ear.
Dannie high fives her. ''We got it, he, her, hero, heroine.'' She says as they both look at Ben smugly.
Ben sighs. ''Yeah that was way too easy.'' He says.
They then all go back to their guarding duty, Hannah quickly looks over at Ben and winks at him and he winks back. Over the past week they had barely had any time together but being on watch together meant they were always in each other presence which made them happy. Suddenly a gunshot goes off and they all spot the culprit all-shooting towards it instantly.
Hannah looks through her sniper riffle. ''Crap.'' She whispers seeing two lines of fire.
Hannah gestures James out of the helicopter. ''Where are you going?'' Ben whispers.
''We'll aim from a different angle. A better chance at hitting the target.'' She whispers back.
James and Hannah crouch down and shoot their guns when something aims at them. Hannah begins to run as she sees Matt carrying something through the battlefield.
''Matt why are you carrying a hack saw?'' She questions.
Matt ignores her so Hannah makes James follow Matt. They follow Matt into a covered area where Pope is shadowing over Crazy Lee who is lying down. Hannah gasps and tells James to go and help Tector.
''Tector that you?'' Lee questions.
''No it's just the kid and fire cracker.'' He says.
''What's wrong with her why can't she move?'' Hannah asks worriedly.
Hannah then watches as Matt holds up Lee's head to show a pole going through it and then pope moving more hair to show it had gone straight through her head. Hannah moves around and takes Lee's hand and squeezes it. She keeps her emotions in deciding she needed to be strong for the woman she saw as her mother. Pope continues to saw the pipe and Lee starts talking about a dog she had before and how it had died. She was talking about how it was her time to go and Hannah just squeezes her hand tighter.
''I'm not gonna let you die in a hole.'' Matt says and Hannah nods her head.
''Fire cracker?'' Lee questions.
Hannah shuffles closer. ''I'm here Lee.'' She says know that the pole had caused her to lose her sight.
''Now sweetie if I don't get through this I want you to be strong. Continue to be the kick ass fighter I know you are. Be the daughter I never had.'' Lee says.
Hannah takes a deep breath. ''I know mom, I know. I will make you proud even if you don't get to see me do it.'' She says.
''Did you just call me mom?'' Lee questions.
Hannah laughs. ''Yeah I did because that's what you are, you're my mom, you have been ever since you helped me through... Well you know.'' She says.
Lee smiles. ''Yeah I know sweetie, I know.'' She says.
Hannah feels a tear slip from her eye. ''I love you Lee. I'll keep fighting these aliens and the bitch who shot you is gonna get it.'' She says.
''I love you too.'' She says. ''Also keep that boyfriend of yours close, never waist a moment because you never know when the world is going to take him away from you, or you away from him. Treasure every second with him Hannah, do you hear me?'' Lee says beginning to tear up.
Hannah nods. ''I know mom, I know.'' She says and then leans forward and kisses Lee's cheek as Pope saws through the rest of the pipe and Lee is lifted onto a stretcher.
Hannah walks behind the stretcher clinging to Matt's hand. This was hard on him too, Pope and the rest of the Berserkers respected Matt he was their little man. When they arrive at the hospital Lourdes watches horrified as the fighters bring in Crazy Lee. Lourdes then looks over at Hannah and offers her a sympathetic smile. The rest of the Berserkers come in then, Tector rushes over to Hannah, and they embrace hugging tightly.
''We can't lose her Tec, she can't die.'' She says through tears.
Tector kisses the top of Hannah's head. ''I know fire cracker, I know, come on let it all out.'' He says beginning to rock her like a baby in his arms.
Hannah then looks up at Tector. ''Where's the woman who shot her? Is she conscious?'' Hannah asks.
Tector sighs. ''Now fire cracker this ain't the time to be going on the warpath, ya mom needs you.'' He says, he knew Hannah saw Lee as her mother, he had known since Lee had told him. He also knew Hannah saw him as a big brother so he had to step up and had taken to the role naturally.
Hannah grumbles. ''Don't you be going all big brother on my ass, if I wan't to go on the warpath I will. I want answers to why that woman shot my mom!'' She exclaims pulling out of Tectors embrace.
Tector puts his arms up in surrender. ''Alright I'm not one to stop you, but think for a minute Hannah, is you shouting your mouth off really gonna help Lee?'' He asks her.
Hannah ducks her head. ''I don't know, but I know it will make me feel better.'' She says.
He sighs. ''Fine then I ain't gonna stop ya! As long as you come back here straight after.'' He says firmly.
Hannah nods and begins walking away from the hospital. She makes it about ten metres before she sees Tom and Ben walking towards the prison, the woman must be awake. She follows after them cautiously and walks towards the entrance of the prison before being stopped by a couple of soldiers.
''Hold up there where do you think you're going Hannah?'' One of them asks.
Hannah glares at him. ''To talk to the woman who shot my mom.'' She says walking forward but an arm stops her. She glares up at the man. ''Let me past.'' She growls.
''Miss Hannah I'm afraid I can't do that.'' He says.
Hannah crosses her arms over her chest. ''What would you do if you had the chance to talk to someone who shot your mom?'' She questions him.
The solider ducks his head. ''I would want to talk to them and ask them why they shot her.'' He says.
''Then let me past!'' Hannah demands.
The solider sighs and lets her past. Hannah beams at him and runs down the stairs.
She storms past a few more soldiers. ''Where is she?'' She shouts. ''Where's the bitch that shot my mom?'' She shouts again pushing through the soldiers trying to stop her, nobody was going to stop her.
Then she comes face to face with her, a woman sat in a chair opposite Tom, the gate to the prison cell was closed.
Hannah points a finger towards the woman, a death glare planted on her face. ''So you're the BITCH that shot my mom! What do you have to say for yourself huh?'' Hannah questions staring straight into the woman's eyes.
The woman just stares at her. ''Didn't know she had a daughter huh? We're on your side you stupid bitch!'' She shouts. Hannah then feels arms wrap around her waist and she's being pulled backwards no matter how much she tries to fight. ''YOU STUPID BITCH YOU SHOT MY MUM!'' She screams one last time before Ben pulls her completely out of the prison quarters and back into the corridors of Charleston.
''What the hell was that?'' Ben questions angrily.
Hannah glares at him. ''What else was I supposed to do? She shot Lee, you know I see her as my mother'' Hannah shouts tears slipping out her eyes.
Ben goes to take her hands, but Hannah pulls away. ''No, don't you dare touch me!'' Hannah shouts.
Ben tries again. ''Come on baby let me comfort you.'' He says softly.
Hannah pushes him off. ''No, you pulled me out of their before I could get answers. Leave me alone!'' She hisses walking away, hearing Ben's footsteps following her. ''Don't you dare follow me!'' She snaps over her shoulder.
Crying hysterically she runs back to the infirmary as quickly as she can, before she can run behind the curtains of Lee's bed Tector grabs her and pulls her into a hug before kissing her forehead and pulling her inside, Lee is lay there completely motionless. They stand there for a few moments before Tom walks into looking the two of them dead in the eye and they leave to stand outside with the rest of the Berserkers. Pope then proceeds to tell Tom all what he thought of the situation, he then walks behind the curtain, Hannah takes a seat next to Matt as they wait for Pope to finish. Then the talking stops and Hannah panics rushing behind the curtain.
''She's gone?'' Hannah questions and Pope nods his head squeezing her shoulder as he walks out.
Hannah walks forward unable to stop her tears. She was gone, the second mom she had in the world was gone. She collapses to the floor before she can make it to a chair, she takes hold of Lee's now cold hand and squeezes it whilst crouched on the floor. No one disturbs her which she is thankful for, she needed this time alone, time to mourn the loss of the woman who had taught her so much over the past year they had known each other. She was her rock and now she was gone, Hannah was beginning to crumble. James had come in to try to pull her away, but Hannah had pushed him away. Tector had tried too but Hannah had told him to leave as soon as he touched her shoulder. Then Ben came in and he sat down on the chair and just watched her. Knowing better than anyone else not to touch her.
Thirty minutes pass before Ben leans over and kisses Hannah's head. ''Come on baby, we have to go and see the liberty tree.'' He says in a whisper.
Hannah looks over at him, her eyes were blood-shot and her face was pale. ''I can't leave her Ben.'' She says.
Ben takes hold of her hand. ''She's not going anywhere, come on this will be good for you.'' He says pulling her up.
Hannah leans up and kisses him hard on the lips before cuddling into him. ''You best be right.'' She says as they walk out of the infirmary heading for the courtyard.
''I'm always right.'' Ben says smirking down at her.
Hannah sighs. ''I'm sorry about earlier, I was just angry and upset, I didn't mean to take it out on you.'' She says cuddling into him more.
''It's completely understandable baby. She was practically your mother, if that was my mom I would have wanted answers too.'' He says.
They arrive at the courtyard and wait for Tom to arrive, James comes up on the other side of Hannah and smiles at her, Hannah leans up and kisses his cheek as a thank you. Hannah then listens as Tom begins to talk about Lee and how everyone who has died matters in some way and that's what the liberty tree was about. Everyone would be able to scribe the names of the people they loved onto a leaf and then place it on the tree where they would hang forever. Even though the tree's branches would never grow, the amount of love that went onto it unfortunately would. Ben and Hannah walk forward and Hannah takes a leaf and takes a leaf and writes ' Annabelle, Lucas and Jamie Phillips' on it in memory of her mother, father and brother. Ben then takes her hand and they walk forward, both kissing their leaves before hooking them onto the tree. Hannah then approaches the leaf left for Lee and she ties a bracelet next to it before kissing the leaf. Ben and Hannah step back and then share a kiss before cuddling as they watch everyone else place their leaves on the tree.
Suddenly an explosion goes off and a mech ship flies over them. Instantly Ben and Hannah pull out their guns and Hannah meets up with James, whilst Ben meets up with Dannie. Another two mech ships fly over and everyone begins to prepare to fight the fish-heads that had finally decided to come.
